Chapter 476 Wedding Dress
When Mother Xiao saw the bowl served to Kairen, the corner of her mouth twitched. She quickly said, “Kairen, Auntie will get you another bowl. Just wait here for a while. It won’t take long.”
Kairen’s eyes immediately lit up. He looked very happy and said, “Thank you, Auntie!”
After what happened to Julie, Kairen no longer dared to be disrespectful to Mother Xiao. At the same time, he sighed in his heart. ‘No wonder Misha is the chief designer, and we’re just her assistants. We don’t even know the dangers of the world.’
Ever since Misha got off the plane, her expression didn’t change. She looked at everything around her, and she smiled politely at the middle-aged woman who looked dirty in their eyes.
Julie was too big of a fool to realize she had offended someone she shouldn’t. She probably wouldn’t be seen in the circle anymore.
Kairen swore that he would learn from Misha. Doing makeup was important, but so was reading the people around them.
Mother Xiao came out with a replacement bowl. She whipped up the new bowl very quickly.
Seeing Mother Xiao, Kairen stood up and impatiently took the noodles from Mother Xiao’s hands. He did not forget to say politely, “Thank you, Auntie!”
After he sat down, he couldn’t wait to take a sip of the soup. The soup was hot and fragrant. As soon as it entered his mouth, the unique fragrance filled his entire mouth.
Then, he sighed softly and said, “Ah, it’s really delicious. I have no idea Chinese food is so delicious.” Then, he focused on eating again.
However, he and Misha were used to using knives and forks. They were not used to chopsticks. The struggle was real.
It was not that bad for Kairen. He was a man. He dropped the chopsticks and picked up the bowl to drink directly from it.
The corners of Mother Xiao and Xie Zhenzhong’s mouths kept twitching. They could have asked for a spoon…
Misha was more reserved because she was a woman. However, the noodles were too delicious. She drank the soup and then tried to get the noodles with the chopsticks. She stirred for a long time but only got a few strands.
Mother Xiao went to the kitchen and found two spoons. The breakfast went much better after that.
After eating the noodles, Misha touched her stomach with a blush. This was the first time she had eaten so much since she became a chief designer. She often served nobles, so she needed to keep a certain image too. To maintain her figure, she was often on a diet. However, she had already eaten her fill before she realized it.
Mother Xiao smiled as she saw this. “Miss Misha, Mr. Kairen, are you full?”
“Yes. Thank you, Auntie!” The two of them thanked her somewhat embarrassedly. Misha smiled and praised, “Auntie, your noodles are really delicious. No wonder Mr. Xie sneaked the noodles away from Kairen.”
Xie Zhenzhong smiled and said, “Miss Misha, Auntie doesn’t only cook a mean bowl of noodles. Her cooking skill is amazing.”
Misha’s eyes lit up, and she said with great interest, “Oh, really? Auntie, can I stay and have a taste of them?”
As a world-class chief makeup artist, she was very busy. There were many people waiting for her every day. Her mission was to do the makeup for Mr. Gong’s bride. Then she would fly to another county. There was no time to stay.
However, this small village had something that deeply attracted her taste buds.
Mother Xiao said cheerfully, “Of course!” Mother Xiao asked, “What kind of dish do you like? I’ll make them for you.” But then she thought of something and said with an apologetic expression on her face, “I’m sorry, Miss Misha. Today is my daughter’s wedding day. I’m afraid I don’t have time to make food for you today. How about tomorrow?”
Misha’s mind also quickly calmed down. She didn’t come here for food but for a mission. She almost forgot about her official business because of food.
Misha said with a smile, “That will be perfect. Auntie, we’re here today to do the bride’s makeup and make her the most beautiful bride in the world.
“I don’t dare to forget my mission, or Mr. Gong might not be happy.”
Mother Xiao liked this foreign girl very much. She smiled and said, “Alright, wait here for a while. I’ll go wake up my daughter now.” After saying that, she went straight to Xiao Lingyu’s room and knocked on the door.
Strangely enough, Xiao Lingyu didn’t feel nervous even though it was her big day. She slept very soundly.
Xiao Lingyu rubbed her clear eyes and saw mother Xiao standing outside the door. She called out in confusion, “Mom, it’s so early! What’s wrong?”
When Mother Xiao saw this, she was angry. “Today is your wedding day! Have you forgotten that?”
When it was Mother Xiao’s wedding day, she couldn’t sleep at all. When it was dawn, there were dark circles in her eyes.
Her mother looked at the dark circles in her eyes and felt that it was really inappropriate. She boiled an egg and rolled it on her eyelids twice before the dark circles disappeared.
Her daughter, on the other hand, had no jitters at all. Then again, the Xiao Family was also quite thankful because they didn’t want the rampaging emotions to affect the child either.
Xiao Lingyu rubbed her eyes and said calmly, “I remember.” At this point, she made a yawn. She asked doubtfully, “Mom, why did you wake me up so early? Is there something wrong? I’m so sleepy. I want to sleep for a while more.”
“…” Mother Xiao was really worried for nothing.
Mother Xiao said unhappily, “How can you keep on sleeping? Get up and wash your face. The makeup artist hired by Tianhao is already waiting in the living room. You need to work with them after you finish breakfast.”
Normally, the bride at Taoyuan Village couldn’t eat on their wedding day. They would eat at their in-law’s place after they got married.
However, Xiao Lingyu was a special case. She was pregnant so she didn’t need to follow these rules.
In any case, as the world became more modern, some of the obsolete rules also got eliminated.
Xiao Lingyu was stunned. “A makeup artist?”
Mother Xiao looked at Xiao Lingyu suspiciously and said, “Today, you’re getting married. Don’t you need to wear makeup?”
Xiao Lingyu reacted and said, “But I’m still pregnant.” She was worried that the makeup would hurt the baby.
Mother Xiao rolled her eyes and said unhappily, “You’re a university student, but you know less than a rural woman like your mother.
“So what if you are pregnant? It’s not like you have to put on makeup every day. Today is a special day. Besides, Tianhao must have thought about this when he invited people over. He wouldn’t hire people who would harm you, right?”
Xiao Lingyu patted her head and said with a smile, “Mom is right.” After she got pregnant, her brain slowed down. She felt that she was becoming more and more naive.
Mother Xiao patted her head lightly and said with a smile, “Alright, go out and wash up when you wake up.”
Xiao Lingyu followed her out.
However, when Mother Xiao went out, she saw a few strangers in the living room.
Two tall and beautiful women were carefully holding a white wedding dress. On the collar of the wedding dress, there were many sparkling and translucent white diamonds. Each of them was six carats, but the diamond on the chest was at least 18 carats.
There were strings of large white pearls on the hem of the dress.
Each large pearl was round and sparkling.
Every part of this wedding dress was meticulously designed by top designers. Everything here was extremely expensive.
The estimated value of this wedding dress was more than 300 million.
Therefore, the two women held the wedding dress carefully, afraid that it would be damaged. They wouldn’t be able to afford it even if they just damaged a small part.
Of course, at this moment, Mother Xiao didn’t know the value of this wedding dress. She just looked at Xie Zhenzhong and asked with some doubt, “Zhenzhong, what is this?”
Xie Zhenzhong smiled and said, “Auntie, this is the wedding dress for the madam. Of course, the bride has to wear a wedding dress on her wedding day.”
Mother Xiao’s eyes lit up, and she praised sincerely, “This wedding dress is really beautiful. It’s even more beautiful than the ones I saw on TV.”
According to tradition, it was more auspicious to choose red as the main color for a rural wedding
However, Mother Xiao was not a conservative person. She had seen people wearing white wedding dresses on TV. At first, she did not understand, but later she learned that wearing white represented the sanctity and purity of love.
Xie Zhenzhong explained, “Originally, our boss wanted to get a Chinese-style wedding dress, but it is not suitable for Madam. So he hired someone to design this wedding dress.”
A Chinese cheongsam was very body-hugging. Not every woman was suitable to wear a Chinese-style wedding dress.
Moreover, Xiao Lingyu was pregnant with a round belly. She wouldn’t fit into a cheongsam. Who wouldn’t want their wedding day to be memorable?
With a good design, the western wedding dress could cover up the big belly. She would still be the most dazzling and beautiful bride.
Mother Xiao did not understand these things, but she was glad that Gong Tianhao was so concerned about her daughter. She smiled and said, “Tianhao, this child is really thoughtful.”
Then, she urged Xiao Lingyu, “Why are you still in a daze? Hurry up and wash up.”
Of course, Xiao Lingyu was shocked by this wedding dress. Unlike her mother, Xiao Lingyu knew the value of this dress. In her previous life, she worked hard in the workplace and had seen many top-notch things in the fashion industry.
The diamonds, the pearls, and the fabric and handmade wedding dress were all priceless.
Based on the memories she had seen in her previous life, she estimated the value of these things, and her eyes suddenly widened.
‘Oh My God, this wedding dress is worth at least 300 million.’
Only then did Xiao Lingyu realize that the person she was going to marry was a world-class wealthy man.
Xiao Lingyu’s heart suddenly pounded.
